I think C= has done more things right in the past year and a half or
so than they have ever done before:

Educational Discounts - YES!!!!  (I know at least 4 people who
bought systems under ed. discounts that wouldn't have bought
Amigas otherwise.)

Power-Up Program - GREAT!!! What other C= offers you a deal like this?

A3000, A3000-UX series.  WB 2.0 (I know its not out yet for machines
besides the A300 but it will be a big plus once it is.)

In short, sure C= has some problems but I've seen more improvememnt
recently than I have in a long time.
